Warmup matches

[aussie1st]

Tum will be happy, Vettori taking a rare smashing. 43 runs from 3 overs and hes easily has the worst bowling figures for the day.

 

[Dare]

I was actually taking credit away from the pitch not WI

Or from the good bowling of Benn, Miller and Deonarine.

 

[aussie1st]

Wow this match has suddenly got interesting. Styris slow bowling is proving very effective.

 

[TumTum]

Or from the good bowling of Benn, Miller and Deonarine.

Ok I will adjust my statement then:

Benn, Miller and Deonarine have bowled out of their skin to be able to extract spin from spinless track :sarcasm

Happy now?

 

[Robelinda]

WI= more fail than Australia. Well maybe not. Still a case of fail.

 

[aussie1st]

Well like us they were resting players. Pollard in for Ramdin would be a good start, probably would have got them over. None the less good fighting spirit shown by NZ and nice final over by Vettori.

 

[Biggy]

Wow, Windies choked there..

How about learn about the pitches in the Caribbean if you want to comment on them. Guyana has always had the most spin friendly pitches in the Caribbean hence the good spin players like Chanderpaul, Sarwan, Lloyd, Kanhai, Kallicharan.
If you had actually watched the Zimbabwe series or paid attention if you did watch it you would have seen a wicket that offers spin.

Happy now?

Anyways good fightback by New Zealand, Styris did the trick for them. Lack of middle order was a big time fail and so was batting Fletcher at #6.

Ryder back in for us woulda helped our batting out too. Pollard does ass a lot to the windies. You can see from their batting order that once the openers are out they're prone to collapse.

Was a good come back and fight from us. Proves our strength is in the bowling along with a few key batsmen who win games (Ryder, McCullum and Taylor)

 

[aussie1st]

The Windies had a good lower order when they toured Australia, I remember their top and middle order failing with the lower order bailing them out a few times.

So scotties off cutters done the trick! Slow bowling is going to be very useful throughout the tournament. We're lucky that both our spinners are all-rounders

All three of our spinners are all-rounders, and our medium-slow pace bowler is an all-rounder too

Is the third Redmond or Nicol?

 

[Chewie]

Nicol bowls much more than Redmond does in the shorter forms of the game
